Role in Battle at Fort Utah
In 1850, Hanks was selected to attack a Timpanogos house. He continued to fight with the army where the Mormons won, taking several Timpanogos slaves. This is well documented, and Mormons had a history of taking Native Americans as slaves (see Mormonism and slavery). However, it keeps getting removed with the explanation that Mormons did not believe in slavery. I think that the editor is unaware of the history of slavery in Utah, and feels it couldn't have happened because he or she is unaware of Mormon teachings on slavery. I think reading the provided links will clarify the issue. FreePeoples (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:28, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of the two times he raised someone from the dead?
There is plenty of evidence in journals that on two separate occasions, Ephraim raised someone from the dead. As did his brother.

If the intent is to show the full history of a person, including their involvement with the Dainties and/or taking Native American slaves, then their full story of Mr. Hanks deeds should be told, including his raising people from the dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.7.245.217 (talk) 03:38, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
